...she run again in 2012 or 2016, my support for her will be tepid. A good concession speech asking her supporters to give their support to him should have been enough. Cross-country campaigning for him sends the message that sexism and misogyny are not important issues. Nor are caucus fraud and vote stealing. Wow. Just wow. Again, Democrats have to be perfect and Republicans just have to show up.
Dawn C objects to this ad: See, the problem is that you can't hear Sarah Palin in it, and that "implies that Governor Palin is nothing more than a flirtatious and inconsequential woman." Did she... Well, if you're a hard-core PUMA, you probably do think that. Never mind. The point is, nationally televised debates are not the same thing as daytime talk shows. And might I add: duh.
...dogs (and Democrats)" sounds rather similar to "How To Talk To A Liberal (If You Must)". ----- The discussion on the thread about Sarah Palin being hanged in effigy continues apace. Medium Dave on sexism vs. racism: It’s easy to believe that X is worse than Y, if X affects you personally and Y does not. CoolAunt: It’s also easy to believe that misogyny is worse than racism since misogyny affects...
I looked into making this a community, but it seems like it would be frustrating and time-consuming to move the entries over. So for the moment, I shall just reproduce this comment of ajollypyruvate...damn clothes, were she, in fact, in possession of a fully-functioning ethical code. Also, helpful hint to kiuku : The reports on the clothing expenditure came from the Republicans, not the Democrats.
...to have the worst of sexist fears embodied in the metal nutcracker made in her image, nor the prurient coverage of her cleavage, nor... oh, the list goes on. Likewise, Sarah Palin has come in for some sexism she doesn't deserve either. She doesn't deserve having a porn film made starring a look-alike. It's not flattery, it's degrading, to her and to all women in politics. She doesn't deserve being...
I don't see eye to eye with Amanda Marcotte on everything, but I think this is worth a look. I’ll be frank. If a man wrote this [article], it would indisputably read like the writer is describing a...skills that you need to graduate high school is enough to catapult a woman to genius status. If asking questions makes you a brainiac, then ordinary, everyday women must need help tying their shoes.
...on both sides. I am voting for the side most likely to support the laws I want. Behold Violet's response: Bullshit. If there had been the same level of racism during this campaign as sexism, then you could make that argument. But there hasn’t been. Let’s see: a year-long festival of unapologetic misogyny, the most vicious bout of public-woman hating in living memory — from the campaign...
By a curious coincidence I have been reading The Crucible this week, for the first time - we didn't do it in any of my school English classes and I never got around to it on my own, until last week...do consider the Restoration Era to be recent history. PPS: William F. Buckley threw Tailgunner Joe under the bus after he became an embarrassment and a liability, too. Nothing new, nothing new
So I've been reading 'Beyond Barbie & Mortal Kombat: New Perspectives on Gender and Gaming' - the sequel-ish-thing to that other book edited by Henry Jenkins (fangirl squee) and Justine Cassell. It pushes...Darkness? The reviews complained of bad camera angles ruining the game, but hell, I played Suikoden V, I think I can handle it. And come on, Nazis and vampires and werewolves. How can you go wrong
